To all whom "it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN T. H. PAUL, a citizen of she United States,residing; at Chicago, in the county or Cook and State of lllinois, haveinvented s. new and useful Impro'vem'en; in vl oshi gmiochines of whichthe following is o specification.

My invention relates particularly to 1113i chines for use in cleansingfiltering-material,

19 such as is commonly used in iii gors For filter-- ir'ig liquors.

My primary object is to provide :2 machine her ing improved means forcirculeting the cleansing-fluid and the filtemnsss, theroh insuring morecomplete cleansing of the fi her-mess and increasing the capacity ofthe. ins-chine.

The invention is illustrated in'its preferred embodiment in theaccompanying drswings,

2c in Which- Figure 1 represents an end elevetionol View of my improvedweshingmischine Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal sectional View of thesome; Fig. 3, broken plan View of the machine; Fig. 4-, an enlargedbroken, sectionel View of the injector employed; and

i Fig. 5, a broken detail sectional View show ing the manner in which onsir-pipe employedenters the casing through t hcsnme connection as doesthe injector-pipe ernployed.

v in the construction shown, A represents a casing snpoortcd on A and e.p 'ied with a lid I througl'i which the charge of iil wring-materialmay be thrown into the easing;.B, an injector boring s iipe 13 joined bya connection 3' to one end of the casing st or nenr the oostom of thecasing; 53 an sir-pipe which enters tic casing through. the

.0 connectionl5 and extends across hot-- torn of the casing; G, rotarycylindrical scrce nhering tubular trunnions C C journeled in the ends ofthe casing nesr the hop of -the casing; 0 ,1. sprocket'whccl secured onthe trunnion through the medium of -wh ich the screen o is rotated; C",U, over fidw-pipes with which the tubular trumiions communicate; D, 2.fan, or propeller, having a shaft D journa-led in a bearing D" in one ofthe casing-ends, near the bottom of the cus ing; D a tubular housing,for the {on supor'ted on bracket-arms D projecting inwardly from the endof the casing; D, s. con

icol deflector secured st the opposite end of the casing and having itspoint projecting toward the fan end in axial slinement therewith; D, abracket having o hearing for the shaft D; D a. pulley through the mediumof which the shaft D is rotated; D, a. sprocket-Wheel secured. on theshaft D end joined by a. sprocket-chain I) to s sprocket wlicel D?journsled on a stud D projecting from the casing-end somewhalt above andat one side of the shaft D; D", o sprocketwheel formed integrally withthe s r0cketwheel D and connected by a chain with the sprocket-wheelCand-E a lug in the bottom of the casing controlled. :1 rockshaft E and alever E in e we known manner.

The cosing,'or receptacle, A may be of any suitable form. Preferably ithas n hsl'f-cy indrical bottom a, plane sides a and a rectsngular to 41of which the lid A forms a part. The id A is joined by hinges a to theststionar' section of the to and has its free lateral or go secured byloo 'ing means a of well known construction.

The injector 13 comprises an inner nozzle 6; an outer nozzle 1), whose.outer ond'hes screw connection with the base portion of the nozzle 1);a. casing 5 into one end of which .the nozzle bl is screwed; a funnellfihsvingscrew connection with an intermediate portion of the nozzle '6and having openings 5 through which the induced fiow of water may pass;and a water pipe b having connection with the casing b" through one sidethereof. The pipe B has screw connection with the end of the casing 11which is on; posits the nozzle.

so The lower .end' of rho.

pipe 13 is joined by s l shnped unionlfi s Y a. p1pe-seot1on I) whichhos screw oonneclzion witha collar 5 secured to the cesing end The pipeB has screw connection with the outer end of-the member I)", andcomprises sections l)", the-latter of which extends through the tubularmember 5 and into the casing, where it is provided on its lower sidewith outlets l) through which the air may escape into the water and "shefilter-mass therein. It will be understood that the wsier and the steamcondensed therein enter the casing through the annular space b" betweenthe pipe-secsion b and the pipesection if, as clearly appears from Fig.5.

Th deceils of construction of the rotary. screen f], Whi... serves as oneduction conduit through which the overflow may pass to the pipes C (imay he of any suitable construction. The trunnion is contained in ahearing 1:, which conslitutcs also a hushing; and the pipe hasconnection with the bearing a. v

a. bearing c ei' uipped with a psciring-ring c. The pipe is supported bya bracket 6 and is equipped at its upper end with on. inturned elbow cinto which the trunnion C extends loosely.

The propeller D may he of any suitehle construction. The hearingconstitutes also it smiling-box, being equipped with t pecking-ring i1.is stated, the axis of the propelleris in olincment with the conicaldeflector, or spreader, I); and the axis of the tubular housing, D islikewise in elinementwith the axis of thememher l).

The detaiis of construction of the plug E,

which maybe opened to permit the filtermass to be discharged from theroccptocle, are of common construction and need not he described.

In operation, steam enters through the nozzle. l) and. induces uv flowof Water through the pipe b the mingled streams entering the casing ofthe nuichine through the annular passage 0 Power is imparted to thepropeller I), through the medium of the pullcy D and is .connmlnicatedfrom lhe propeller-shaft to the screen 0 through the inediunuof theSPIOOlCOt-Wl]eClS and chains. The propeller operates to force the waterand filter-mass through the tubular lu'msinp; l)" and against theconicalspreader D", which divides the current,' causing it to circulatehack in all directions to the rcor of the (camel D. The mass is keptopen and nuttting prevented by air'currcnts injected through theopenings b of the section 1A of the pipe B The machine described ofsimple construction, is easily operated and admirably adapted to. itspurpose. Experience has demonstrated that it Will o erate to moreeffectually cleanse filterrng nuttornrl then the Tl'ietrunnion C extendsthrough i l I l i l l i l l l l i l l known nntchines, and that itpossesses in-- creased capacity.

What I regard. as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. in a machine of the character set forth, thecombination of a casing,21 spreader supported in the casing, and a propeller operating to propelthe filter-mass and Washing fluid toward said spreader.

2. in a muchinc of the character set forth, the combination of a casing,a Water supplypipc connnunicsting with the casing at one end. thereofnear the bottom of the casing, 21 spreader connected with the same endof the casing at it higher point, a propellerorrangcd opposite saidspreader, and an induction port communicating with the interior oftheorising near the upper portion. thereof.

In a machine of the character set forth,

the combination of a casing, a watensupply Y pipe connected therewith,a. spreader supported at one. endof the casing, a tubular housing openfit both ends supported at the other end of the casing in axialalinement .with said spreader, and {L rotary propeller in said housing,for the purpose set forth.

1. In a machine of the character set forth, the combination of atcasing, an injector-pipe equipped with on injector, a union connectingsaid pipe with the lower portion of the casing, an air-pipe extendingthrough said union and into the casing and provided with in the casingwith perforations, end an cductiou port connected with the upper portionof the casing.

ilfii. machine of the character set forth,

the combination of :1V casing, a conical sprcz'nlcr in said casing andsupported on one end thereof, a tubular housing supported on the otherend of said casing, and a propeller in said tubular housing.
